Saturday's Sound Off

The men and women who are protecting our freedom in the U.S. for the enlisted personnel at $55,000 per year tops for grunts, for 24 hours per day, 365 days which comes out to 8,760 hours in harms way for a grand total of $6.27 an hour. This is below the minimum wage. How many teachers get hit with a paper clip which would be combat for them?

MIKE M.

I agree when our forefathers came into the U.S. they worked to live here and help build the U.S. strong. Now they are probably turning over in their graves at how the immigrants come in now and are running our country down and taking everything for nothing. Send all those kids back where they came from. Let their own parents raise them. Can you imagine what our school taxes will be?

DISGUSTED

The way police cars are parked for a car stop is for their protection, the police, and for the protection of the people who they have stopped.

We’ll get all this mess cleaned up as soon as Hillary gets elected and everything will be fine then.

I was wondering what type of music Blue Moon is that is going to be down at Sanatoga. I’d appreciate someone helping me out with this.

Here’s a way to get the country back on its feet. Everybody makes a mistake. I can see helping a person with one illegitimate child but after one, no more help. Get off your back and get a job.

How long will it take for the Republicans to find a way to blame President Obama for the downing of the Malaysian passenger plane?

I’d like to thank everybody who came out to the Sidewalk Sale on Saturday and supported the cat rescue. All proceeds from our bake sale will go to help six newborn infant cats that I took off High Street on July 3. Something happened to their mother and they were abandoned. Sadly one died but the others are doing good and being bottle fed. All the funds we received will go for their medication and care and special food and formula.

BILL AND KAREN

This is for the man at the Bally Quick Mart Redner’s. I’d like to say thank you for helping the little older lady when she was having problems with her car. It was really nice of you. She asked me but of course I couldn’t help her so thank you for being so kind to her and helping her out. I’m sure it meant the world to her. There really are good people in this world.

Hats off to Max Goldman’s common sense view of the situation at the border. It’s been a practice of blaming the president for everything that goes wrong in this country. Benghazi, IRS, NSA and the mess in Ukraine has cost the taxpayers millions. If the Koch Brothers are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to defeat this president, who’s to say what part they play in the problems we have on the border. Good work Max.

A CAN OF WORMS

As I was driving to work I was listening to the business report from KYW. It says that consumer confidence is down. But the one that made me laugh the most is the one that says middle class spending is down. It said they must be saving their money. I thought to myself, “what money?” America, what went wrong?

I put a claim in about my hearing about three or four months ago at the VA and I called the other day to check on my claim. They said not to bother them at least for another year. How about that for service folks?

KOREAN WAR VETERAN

I just got my school tax notice in the mail. What a joke. Now they’re telling you what time you can pay your taxes. A certain time they’re setting up to go pay your taxes. What is this? They think they’re doing me a favor? That’s our government at work. Keep voting those Republicans in.

How can Upper Pottsgrove afford a part time police officer when they can’t even fix the back roads?

A TAXPAYER

Oh great, they’re creating an interpreter program at Phoenixville. Why don’t they hire English teachers instead?

To the person who made the comment about the hunters, are you a vegetarian or what? All meat comes from animals.

A HUNTER

I’d like to know what colored glasses Max Goldman wears since he thinks this immigration problem is created by the Republicans. It’s created by your own party and President Obama’s at the head of this. He wants them to come over and stay because then they become citizens, they’re able to vote and they vote Democrat. That’s what his mission is to completely eliminate the Republican Party and everybody vote Democrat. Wake up.
